I lie in bed,
Trying to ignore the voices in my head.

"What's that sound? 
Get up and look around."

"Was that a voice?"
"What do you wanna be? Hurry up and make a choice."

I toss and turn,
Trying not to listen,
I start to cry,
My eyes begin to glisten

I sit up in bed.

Leave me alone!
I just want you to go.
I won't let you take over.

I calm down a bit,
And breathe a little slower.
I have to remember, 
I can't let it take over.

This poem is about anxiety. I deal with it every single day. It's a huge part of my life.

If you deal with anxiety, you know it's hard. You know how easily it can take over. But, you can't let it.

Here's a message to anyone with depression and/or anxiety:

Don't let it take over,
Don't let it control you,
You can overcome it.
